In a bowl, mix all the ingredients but the shrimp. Add the shrimp to marinate for 20 minutes.

Heat a grill pan to high heat. Spray with non stick spray. Add the shrimp to the pan. Grill for 1-2 mins on one side. Flip the shrimp over to the other side and pour on the remaining marinade. Grill for another 1-2 minutes or until your shrimp have turned pink. They will over cook very fast on high heat.

Extra chipotle peppers? I put the individual peppers in an ice cube tray, add the adobo and freeze them. Once they are frozen I put them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for the next recipe.

This is one of my "forget about it" recipes. Very easy to prep, then just forget for 30 minutes. I used Campari and sun dried tomatoes for this recipe, but I often make it with only Campari or cherry tomatoes. And, with summer zucchini on sale, I have been replacing all my pasta recipes with zucchini "pasta". To "spiralize" the zucchini, I used a inexpensive tool off amazon, but you can use a mandolin as well.

To the bowl, add garlic, sun dried tomatoes, Campari tomatoes, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper (if you would like it spicy). Top with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. I like to add the ingredients in this order so the garlic and sun dried tomatoes are on the bottom and don't burn.

Place in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stir half way through.

While the tomatoes are cooking, cut your zucchini into "pasta". Toss the zucchini with a bit of salt and place over a colander while the tomatoes are cooking. The salt with remove some of the water from the zucchini so the "pasta" is not wet.

When the tomatoes are done, they will make their own sauce in the bowl. Place the zucchini on a plate and heat in the microwave for just 60 seconds. Then top with the hot roasted tomato sauce and finish with basil and parmigiana cheese.
